Runners: Where to put phone?

If you can't find something here...then you probably won't find it anywhere

I've seen bands that go around your waist that have zipper pockets on them made for running. They're kind of like fanny packs but are not as bulky. I know that you said arm bands are not an option but I have seen them made for phones that big. Also, I definitely would NOT put it in your bra or anywhere else that would get super sweaty. I have ruined phones this way . I would go to a sports store. Normally they have a section for technology and will have tools for carrying phones.

But have you seen them made for ARMS this big? lol I would need a leg band to fit my arm! hehee

There are armbands of all sizes and shapes, and yes they have one that will fit your phone AND your arm. I have giant arms, for some reason that's a body part that just stays big on me. When I first got my phone armband, I just put it around my forearm instead of my upper arm. It works fine. And it has a pouch for your ID and such. It's a good way to go.

PS....(sorry)...I got mine on Amazon.com. You can find all kinds of things there.

I just carry it? In my hand.... seems like an obvious solution to me.

Yup

I ziplock bag my phone, and stick it in my sports bra! That way i can use it if I feel like it, but it wont get damaged.. Works for me! Though on REALLY hot days, I wouldnt do that.. body heat + 95 degree weather = phone acting weird.

Why isn't an arm band an option?

^^^This.

It took me 15 seconds to find an armband for a Galaxy S3 on Amazon for $15.

I just carry it? In my hand.... seems like an obvious solution to me.

Yup

Depends how long you want to carry it. I don't want to carry my for 45 minutes to an hour.

Mountain Equipment Coop has nice little tiny fanny pack like things that are perfect!

My Under Armour Second Skin spring jacket has a little pocket on the inside that fits keys, phone, etc. But in the summertime or warmer weather, I wear my Joggers Belt. It carries my water bottle and has a little pocket for phone and keys. The brand I use is camelbak.

I got one of these, and it's amazing.

FOR ALL THE WOMEN PUTTING THEIR CELL PHONES IN THEIR BRA WHILE RUNNING

Doctors warn of breast-cancer link to keeping cell phone in bra


Could where you carry your cell phone make you sick? Some doctors say they're seeing evidence of breast cancer that could be linked to where some women keep their mobile phones.

Tiffany Frantz and other young women tell KTVU it's convenient way to hold on to their cell phone. "I put my cellphone right in my bra," said Frantz.

However, her mother Traci Frantz expressed misgivings. "We never took it seriously until after she was diagnosed," said Traci Frantz.

At the age of 21 years old, Tiffany got breast cancer.

"Her tumors were exactly where her cellphone had been against her skin her bare skin for about six years," said Traci Frantz. Their family has no genetic or other risk factors. Surgeons ended up removing Tiffany's left breast.

"It's kinda coincidental that it's right where I kept my cellphone," said Tiffany.

Coincidence? Donna Jaynes got breast cancer at 39. Her family also no had risk factors for cancer. Her doctor showed KTVU the dots where her tumors developed just a half an inch beneath her skin.

"All in this area right here, which is where I tucked my cellphone," said Jaynes. She said she did just that for ten years. She had a mastectomy.

"I thought cellphones were safe. I was under the impression that they were," said Jaynes.

Breast surgeon Lisa Bailey believes cellphone-related breast cancer may be common. But doctors rarely ask about phones.

"I would never wear a cellphone immediately next to my body and I would advise all women not to do that," said Bailey.

Nevertheless, new bras are now on the market with pockets for cellphones. This may be convenient, but doctors said they are risky, especially for younger women.

"These young breast in the early evolution are more sensitive to changes that might lead to cancer," said Dr. John West, a breast cancer surgeon.

West, his colleague Dr. Lisa Bailey and others are now sounding an alarm. They say men are also getting breast cancer by putting their cellphones in their shirt pockets. The wireless industry denies any problem citing a lack of scientific evidence that cellphones cause breast cancer.

"Until further data either supports it or disproves it, I would keep cellphones away from the body, in particular the breasts," said Dr. June Chen.

Doctors recommend cell phone users read manufacturers fine print. For instance, iPhone manuals suggest users keep their phone at least 5/8 of an inch away from any body part.

"It's as simple as that and it might save a life. It might avoid a mastectomy, chemotherapy. It's easy enough to do. Why take a chance?" asked West.

Tiffany's mom says she wishes she'd spoken up.

"I am convinced her cellphone has caused her breast cancer," said Traci Frantz.

"If there is a risk and we don't find out about it for five or ten years from now, we're going to see a whole cluster of young people with breast cancer," said Dr. John West.

LOVE their belt, never rides up - I find arm bands very uncomfortable.

I've boughten several armbands and just haven't had any success with them. I just got WorkaWear shorts for your phone and and I love it, no tan lines or armbands slipping off your arm. I'd recommend it to just about anyone. You can find them at workawear.com

Hi! I created something exactly for this problem. None of my athletic gear had pockets so I developed this product! What do you think? www.isportsbra.com
